ONLINE AND DESIGN-BASED LEARNING IN SOPHOMORE ENGINEERING MECHANICS

Ac 2007-1192: Sophomore Year in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rowan University: Integration of Communication, Mechanics and Design

Engineering clinics are a sequence of project-based learning (PBL) courses taken every semester by all engineering students at Rowan University. The purpose of these courses is to prepare students for aspects of engineering practice, such as solving open-ended problems and contributing to multi-disciplinary teams, which are difficult to teach via traditional blackboard courses. The two four-cre...

Model-Based Design Indexing and Index Learning in Engineering Design

Design is a wide-ranging and open-ended information-processing task in engineering. And analogy is a very common method for addressing engineering design problems. Analogical design is the process of retrieving a known design (source analog) similar to the current design problem (target), and transferring parts of the structure of the known design to the current problem. The power of an analogi...

Problem Based Learning in Engineering Design

Design has traditionally been an important part of an engineer’s training. The initial Engineering Design course in second year undergraduate engineering degree play an integral part in combining the learned knowledge and promote problem solving proficiency. Engineers Australia (Formerly the Institution of Engineers Australia) outlines, soft skills and social proficiencies as a key competency i...
